At Corpus you will go through the human body. Inside of the human body to be exact. With a group of about 15 people you will start your journey. You will get a headphone and device. This device will be there throughout the tour so you will learn about it (this device is in mainly in Dutch language, but if you ask the reception they can provide you one in a foreing language).
With an escalator you will go inside the human body. This is the start of the journey. You will learn about the brain, veins, hart, stomach, guts, etc.
There are areas where you can do some tests: questions about what you have seen/learned during the journey, running to see what happens in your body (which parts will work).
Opening hours: Tuesday to Sunday from 9am till 7pm.

Leiden has no less than 12 museums within its outer canal belt. These cover a wide variety of interests: local, national and international and subject matter includes history, ethnology, archaeology, natural history, art, horticulture and much more.
One of the best known is the National Museum of Ethnology, just down from the railway station. Established in 1837 this is reckoned to be the oldest museum of its kind in the world.
Unfortunately it being a Monday none of them seemed to be open but this looks interesting next time I'm here on a rainy day, when it's not a Monday!
The Museum van Volkenkunde is one of the oldest ethnological museums in the world.
In the museum collection are over 200,000 objects and 500,000 audiovisual sources from all over the globe.
The museum was founded in1837 and now is housed in the former Academic Hospital dating from 1873.
There are regular special exhibitions on a specific theme or about a specific country.
Opening Hours:
Mo: Closed
Tu-Su: 10AM - 5PM
Admission: €11.00 (adult)
The Dutch National Museum of Antiquities in Leiden is, imo, an exemplar of how to make a museum interesting for all visitors without dumbing-down and without removing almost all artefacts from display.
I particularly like the way it is set out in chronological order, with the top (third) floor displaying the oldest artefacts within a beautifully-designed...and literal...time-line which takes you from the very earliest inhabitants of what is now the Netherlands up to much more recent times.
The second floor has the Roman artefacts. There's a particularly impressive collection of Roman altars and an entirely unique stone coffin with its interior 'fully-furnished' for pleasure of the lady who lay within. There are also Etruscan and ancient Greek sculptures, gravestone an pottery on display on this floor.
The ground floor has a complete Ancient Egyptian temple...the temple of Taffeh, which was given to the Dutch by the Egyptian government in acknowledgement of their help in saving the Nubian monuments near Abu Simbel (anything which remained was flooded when the Aswan Dam was created). There is also a good collection of mummies, mummycases (including some later ones with coffin portraits) and other AE artefacts.
The whole museum is light and airy with an 'uncrowded' feel and many of the displays have English language labelling, which is very helpful. There's a circular glass lift which takes you from floor to floor (and stairs as well) so the museum is accessible for those with mobility difficulties.
There's a small cafe, a cloakroom area (free..just rows of coatpegs..but there are also lockers available for bags) and sparklingly-clean toilets.
For anyone with any interest in ancient history this museum is an absolute 'must-see' if you visit Leiden and...to be honest..it's worth making a visit to Leiden from e.g. Amsterdam just to visit it.

Mine host went on to explain many things, one of which was a beer brewing tile from a monastery. I always find it odd that monastries used to provide beer when, it later times, it was a fanatical religious bent that led to its banning in certain countries.
He also explained how horses' bones were used for children's sleds and also to make ice skates such as were used to attack the Spaniards, much to their surprise.
I also learnt how the leather manufacturer required the head and one horn to work out the age of an animal and thus determine its suitability for manufacture of leather goods.
However, when we came to the wood panel it was my turn. "Is there some significance in the fact that it's displayed upside down?" I queried. Mine host was clearly shocked as I pointed out to him how, if you studied it, there had clearly been a motif and all things rose from that. He was at once surprised and gratified but I reassured him that I had discovered problems at no lesser places than the Wallace Collection and the British Museum in London and had arrived at the conclusion that I was the only one in the world who actually read inscriptions and took note of what they were actually viewing. Can't wait to get to the Louvre!
They had many other items there, such as the coins for the poor. These were vouchers and their purpose is indicated by the letter inscribed on them, e.g. "B" for bread and "D" for blankets.
I'm now constantly reminded of this place. This place that I stumbled across that isn't yet listed in the local guide books. Why? Let me explain at length.
It was my last afternoon and I was determined to see the old fort. Thus it was that I found myself walking down Leiden's prettiest street when I came upon some advertising for a museum. Unknowing, I took up the challenge and went through the portal to find myself in a large courtyard (see pics 1&2), at the end of which was the entry to the museum.
The museum had one thing going for it, it was free. It also had another, the host. He was the epitome of genial; couldn't do enough for me; gave me a guided tour around every item. Of course, this also had much to do with the fact that business was, shall we say, less than brisk, though my entry was followed by two other couples, thus more than doubling his numbers for the day.
The museum all came about because an old paper works had been unearthed dating from the 15th to 16th centuries. This led to several discoveries and somewhere was needed to house the results of the dig and so this building had some space and that's where it all came. (See next tip)
The Naturalis is the National Museum of Natural History and is located just outside the center of Leiden, on the backside of the trainstation, in a large, modern building. If you have trouble finding it, just look for the "monuments to rust", which are large rusty statues, on the side of the road.
It is a very large museum with several floors (4-5) that will take ages to visit thoroughly.
There is always some kind of special exhibition and at the time of writing it is "Heart at work, A special exhibiton about the heart, blood and vessels".
The permanent exhibitions are:
- Nature Theater
- Primeval Parade
- Earth
- Life
- Earth inside
- Biotechnology
- Treasure Chamber
There is a lot to see and it can be very interesting. It is a very good way of spending time when the the day is not nice for a walk outside (yes, it does occasionally also happen to have bad weather in Leiden :))
Adults pay 9 Eur and children 5 (free if they are under 4 years old).
Opening hours are:
Tuesday-Sunday 10 am - 6 pm, closed on Monday.
During school vacations and on holidays: Monday-Sunday 10 am - 6 pm
(Closed 25 December and 1 January)
This is a Municipal Museum located in a precious, beautiful historic building that was designed by Arent van 's Gravesande.
In 1874 it was opened to the public as a museum.
In between 1640 and 1800 the building had a completely different function.
At that time the famous LEIDSE LAKEN (textile, fabric) was sampled and the gouvernors and "staalmeesters" (THE SYNDICS) met.
In the Museum you will get the chance to see and admire unique utensils..........
And of course the COMPLETE story of the siege and the Relief of the Siege of Leiden on October 3rd 1574.
The cloth-maker and merchants gathered in the courtyard where the SYNDICS took samples. Subsequently the sacks/bags went to the GUILD HALL, called DE BIG PRESS, where they got a lead seal. Seals have been found from Indonesia, South Africa and America.
On the outside walls of the LAKENHAL are wonderful decorations, reliefs.
During the 19th Century the LAKENHALL was used as a emergency hospital, if needed and in 1874 the place became a real MUSEUM.....
There are precious collections of silver flatware and ingraved glass, tiles and tinware.
Most glorious paintings from the best Dutch artists of e.g. the Dutch Landscape and....and....there is far too much to list it all here so I can only advise you: go and see that wonderful place, feel and smell that special atmosphere....
My favourite painter whose work is also in the LAKENHAL is FLORIS VERSTER........magnificent!
OPEN: Tuesdays through Fridays 10AM - 5PM
Saturdays & Sundays midday - 5PM
October 3rd 10AM till midday.
For guided tours (groups) make reservations about 3 weeks in advance....this place is very sought-after.
The start of this museum was the private collection of Willem IV which he began during the 18th Century.
Willem I founded the Koninklijk Penningkabinet in 1816 and then the museum made its real start collecting more and more: coins from Greece and the Roam Empire and of course Dutch coins.
There are coins from different ships that had sunk to the bottom of the sea: all in all there is a wealth to be enjoyed.
There are e.g. some stamps from MESOPOTAMIA, over 5000 years old and oh, so precious and emotional to see.
The collection counts up to 200.000 issues, each with its own history, story, country....
they all tell about kinds and emperors, technique, history, economy, archeology and art!
A most wonderful, well-filled TREASURE-TROVE.
Leiden has 12 museums, all well worth a visit.
The priceless and unique collections on show there enjoy international fame.
Let me list a few:
The National Antiquity Museum, with its Egyptian, Greek and Roman collections, the National Museum for Cultural Anthropology with its treasures from different cultures.
The Boerhaave Museum, unveiling the history of medical science: very interesting!
The De Lakenhal Municipal Museum, exhibiting works by Rembrandt, Lucas van Leyden and Jan Steen and of course :
Naturalis, the National Presentation of Natural History, are only a selection of all the treasures the Leyden museums have on display: a real DISCOVERY!
I shall try to tell you about them all in other TIPS.....to start with this picture: a necklace with a gold Bes pendant and beads in the shape of Udjat - eyes, flies and scarabs.
In the middle: necklace with cornelian cornflower beads and gold fish.
Below: necklace with fly-shaphed beads.
All from Egypt, 18th Dynasty, 15th Century BC
This MUSEUM is most wonderful and its collections are so diverse that it is wise to decide beforehand which collections you want to visit.......
In the INTRO you can read about the MUMMIES of the Egyptian collection.
Here some more info:
The Rijksmuseum van Oudheden is situated in the historic centre of Leiden, at a ten minute walk of Leiden Central Station.
Parking your car near the building may be difficult. The best location to leave your car is the Haagweg car park. From the Haagweg, there is a shuttle bus service to the museum. For the quickest route to the museum, see the itinerary. Also busses and touring cars can best be left at the Haagweg car park. See their website for more information. Please note that in the centre of Leiden you are not allowed to drive or (temporarily) park a bus!
Wheelchair users can reserve a wheelchair by calling telephone number (+31) (0)71 – 5163 163 (only on weekdays).
In front of the museum building, at the Rapenburg, is one parking place for visitors holding an official parking license for the disabled.
Partially sighted persons are allowed to take their guide-dogs. The museum's staff are always willing to help you find your way.
Leiden was very famous for its cloth becasue of the quality. This quality was kep high by appointed inspectors that gave thc loth a seal of approvement before it was shipped out. Since the cloth industry was so important and business was booming there came a special cloth hall in 1639 where the officials resided.
Nowadays the tis building is a famous museum.

A good Scots word this, of the medieval period, meaning a beggar, though sadly nobody has much idea where it comes from. The first part looks as though it might have something to do with gaberdine, originally a garment worn by a pilgrim. This may well be, because another name for a gaberlunzie in medieval times was bluegown. Taken from the colour of his dress, this was the name in medieval Scotland for a person who was a king's licensed beggar or beadsman, a person who was paid to pray for the souls of others by telling his beads. (Beadsman comes from the original meaning of bead, a prayer; it was only later that it took on its modern sense through association with the rosary.)
You will find it many times in Scots literature, especially in the old ballad The Gaberlunzie Man and in James Ballantine's story The Gaberlunzie's Wallet. But if it's Scots we're after, we had best turn to Sir Walter Scott. He doesn't fail, and here it is in Redgauntlet: "Better say naething about the laird, my man, and tell me instead, what sort of a chap ye are that are sae ready to cleik in with an auld gaberlunzie fiddler?" (Cleik, a version of cleek, from a noun meaning a hook, so to link oneself with somebody.) It's also in several other of Scott's books, so he probably must be given the credit of having popularised it to readers outside Scotland.

Hello, I'm Flavio Martins. Customer service is my passion.
For too long we've put up with "satisfaction" as the goal for customer service. But who ever wakes up hoping to just be satisfied for the day? We all want to be delighted, and we all hope organizations treat us with the respect we deserve as valuable customers.
Customer Service is Not a Strategy, It's the New Reality.
Winthecustomer.com is a customer service blog showcasing how organizations can deliver great customer service and win customer loyalty, one customer experience at a time.
Working with other service experts, technology solutions providers, and industry leaders, every organization can create amazing customer interactions, exceptional experiences and change the nature of customer service and customer relationships.
Service Industry Awards
I'm honored to work with leading service organizations and contribute to the service community to make a difference in how organizations work with customers and improved the experience customers deserve.

Winning Customer Service
Satisfaction as the standard doesn't work. When satisfaction is the goal, the result is boring customer service and stale customer experiences.
No wonder customer loyalty is abysmal, and the cost to acquire a new customer is astronomical. Customers no longer trust service providers.
The Win the Customer mission is to inspire every customer impacting individual to be passionate, articulate, creative, ethical, personal and fun. Living and working to uplift and make the life of the customer better each day.
-Flavio Martins, Win the Customer!
What is good customer service?
Too many hours are wasted every year on customer service trainings about customer satisfaction. But just focusing on satisfaction is a waste of time. Customer loyalty is what counts.
Real customer service is often so rare that organizations don't even bother measuring delighted customers and settle for simply satisfaction.
Satisfaction is not enough, great customer service wins customer loyalty.

What is the hottest time of day?
Me and my buddies were debating about the hottest time of the day. The internet doesn't really give me a good explanation, if you know the answer please respond back to me.
In short, noon is when you have the most direct sunlight(*), and that's what's responsible for heating up the atmosphere. But, just as water doesn't start boiling the second you put it over a flame, it takes time for the atmosphere to heat up. So the hottest time of day is some time in the afternoon, but exactly when in the afternoon depends on where you are and what time of year it is. There's some more explanation on this page at the National Geophysical Data Center website.
(*) By "direct sunlight", I mean sunlight that gets blocked by the least amount of atmosphere. See here for details.

With a hip look and a better feel, Chrome Kursk Pro Bike Shoes are the type of shoe one can wear anywhere - but are most useful on a bike, of course. A unique feature on this shoe is a skid resistant rubber sole that is SPD cleat compatible. This aids in terms of grip on the pedal and a contoured supported footbed supply both stability and flexibility when training at intense speeds. The Chrome Kursk Pro version is known to take a few trial runs to break in, but the payoff is a durable shoe that is built to last a long time.

Bears | Jay Cutler cleans up fundamentals |
Sun, 29 Jun 2014 07:33:32 -0700
Chicago Bears QB Jay Cutler has made tremendous strides cleaning up his fundamentals this offseason, according to quarterbacks coach Matt Cavanaugh. "I've seen incredible progress," Cavanaugh said. "When we got in here last year & evaluated him we had a real good conversation with him about certain things that every quarterback should do. We said, 'Jay it might not be natural, but we want you to try it.' And he did" "To his credit, he's taken every suggestion we've given and he's embraced it. From how he holds the ball to how he lines up in the`Gun' pre-snap to how he drops back, to his throwing base to his follow-through. Every little fundamental we've talked to him about, he's embraced, and it's like night & day."

Although he still continues to make mistakes, New York Jets QB Mark Sanchez is making strides as a starting quarterback in the NFL, according to quarterbacks coach Matt Cavanaugh. "I'm generally pleased," Cavanaugh said. "He's still developing, but it's hard to ask for patience when you're 4-7, but I think with a young quarterback whose got talent, you've got to be patient."

Jets | Tony Sparano wants physical offense |
Fri, 13 Jan 2012 14:33:53 -0800
New York Jets offensive coordinator Tony Sparano said he wants to incorporate a very physical style of offense next season, often called a "Ground & Pound" offense by head coach Rex Ryan. Sparano will have full control over the offense, meaning he will call all the plays. He is expected to go with a run-first offense, but Sparano also said he wants to have a vertical passing attack. Sparano needs to improve QB Mark Sanchez, and he is interviewing possible replacements for quarterbacks coach Matt Cavanaugh.

Any church that doesn't change in response to the change in culture, community or context will eventually cease to exist. Any church that wants to stay around and keep its doors open will make constant and subtle changes along the way.
How should that change take place?
1. In response to a new "God vision." God cares about those perishing in your community far more that you and your church do. So God is all-in for the changes necessary to see as many as possible come to Him. He will give a fresh vision to accomplish that to the heart of a humble and passionate leader.
"I know better."
It's a simple message backed up by simple behaviors and a better knowledge of life or pursuit. In many contexts, you wouldn't think twice about it.
A mom says it to a naïve child mesmerized by red-hot fire. Tiger Woods addresses you on how to get lift from a golf ball in a sand trap. B.B. King shows you a trick to get the guitar sound you want. Bill Gates says, "I have a new technology idea."
The normal response in the face of greater knowledge and insight is to listen, learn and apply. Their knowledge transcends your own, and only a fool would deign to say, "Thanks, but no thanks. I got this one."
I love young leaders. Catalyst exists to help equip young leaders, especially those under 40. I've invested a significant part of my life into connecting, gathering, inspiring and equipping young leaders.
But this is a tribute to the leaders over 40 who so many of us under 40 too often think "don't really understand what's going on anymore."
So to all of my young, passionate, ready-to-change-the-world peers who are under 40:
SIT down, SHUT UP, and LISTEN!
In my talks with pastors and ministry leaders, I hear some repeated themes. One common theme is that they have a story of a failed leadership experience. It might have been their first church or the church experience that went bad. Or, many times, it's their current ministry, and that's the reason for our conversation.
They grew (or are growing) from the time, but looking back, they wish they had known then what they know now. You've probably got some of those learning experiences too. It may have been an incident or the entire time in that ministry, but there were critical errors that kept you and the church from accomplishing all God had for you, errors in leading. Why don't we learn from each other?
My mask was failing.
I had worked so hard to keep people out, to keep them from seeing the real me, that I hadn't invested the energy in allowing God to clean up the stuff I was trying to hide.
My mask was protecting me from other people's judgment, but it was also preventing God's healing and cleansing from taking full effect. I was struggling with some sin issues. Instead of allowing God to help me, I was fighting very difficult battles on my own.
As my mask began to show cracks, I became ashamed and desperate.
When do you pray?
Brother Lawrence taught us to "practice the presence."
Maybe you are like me, and you realize that standing at a monastery sink all day would give you plenty of time to talk to God. It seems a bit different than working on a computer, working at a construction site or working any of the myriad jobs that we have to pay the bills.
Keeping a running dialogue with God while driving 60 mph, listening to your teen's latest saga, contemplating your latest deliverable at work and trying to figure out how you should reduce the church's utility bill takes practice.

Look at the games on your shelf. I'm sure they're great games, because you're reading our website, and if you're reading our website, you're evidently a being of taste and discretion. Want to know something depressing about the games on your shelf? Well, at some point in the next couple of years you'll probably buy them all again for Xbox 720 with subtly improved graphics, a few bolt-on collectables and (if you're lucky) a download code for an Xbox Live copy of some hopelessly dated spiritual precursor.
This is the way the world works, and you'd be foolish to fight the flow. Come now, cease your struggles, spread those arms wide and embrace our munificent overlords in the publishing biz - being careful, of course, not to get your filthy consumer grease on their gleaming spats and ivory-tipped canes. If it helps, the industry's predilection for remastering IP does occasionally result in a tempting deal - a new lease of life for a cult classic, for instance, or new content that's actually worth a second purchase. I've listed a few of this generation's better remakes, HD editions and mega all-time compilations below.
1. Beyond Good & Evil HD
A day will come when I don't find it necessary too bang on about Ubisoft's peerlessly compressed Zelda-a-like in list features, and that day will be when I am dead and cold. Whether you focus on the refreshing absence of silly gender stereotypes or the sheer variety of tasks and activities tucked into that tightly realised open world, Beyond Good & Evil is as playable today as it was 10 years ago. The Xbox Live Arcade version adds nothing save sharper edges, but it's an absolute steal at the price. Your enjoyment glands will thank you.
2. Battlefield 1943
In hindsight, firing up DICE's multiplayer-only XBLA remake of Battlefield 1942 after two Bad Company titles is rather like going from Far Cry 2 to Far Cry 3. That's to say, it's a much goofier, brighter and less consequential kind of shooter, though still a game that gets immensely savage at times. 1943 revives and overhauls four 1942 maps, including the cherished Wake Island, and applies a big dollop of Frostbite's trademark terrain deformation. If Battlefield 3's techno-realism leave you thirsty, take a swig of this.

"Excellent way to put a squash to use! When using fresh squash, 3 cups pureed in the blender will work instead of the 14 oz can. Pecans can be substituted for walnuts. If you want to put frosting on top, I'd recommend cutting back a little on the sugar, since it's sweet enough as is."

Volvo sees the XC60 as "the C30 owner's next car" and expects to sell 50,000 per year worldwide, with the United States expected to account for 40 percent of the market. The XC60 is the entry-level car for Volve's XC range, which also includes the XC70 wagon and the XC90 SUV/crossover. As such, the base price for an XC60 T6 AWD (the only model available at launch) should be about $36,000. Expect to pay $40,000 for an XC60 equipped with all the goodies, including navigation and a panoramic roof.
Unfortunately, the XC60 is expected to return only 15 mpg in the city and 22 mpg on the highway. Look for a somewhat lighter front-wheel-drive model sometime later in the year, which should return better numbers.

Base price (estimated): $36,000

Transmission: 6-speed automatic

Hear the thunder in the distance? That would be the sound of the BMW M3's coming competition, in the form of the Cadillac CTS-V coupe and the Audi RS5. What a showdown that will be. Still, I doubt the Bimmer is quaking in its boots. This is, after all, a very serious machine. Everything from the contours of its supportive sport seats to the way the redline marker on its tachometer mechanically retracts toward 8500 rpm as the V-8 warms up says this is a really fast car. And it is. I was only puttering town, but, as Eric noted, it's very difficult to practice restraint when a drop of the right foot unleashes so much awesome power and noise. If you can hold back though, the M3 rides and drives as civilly as any 3-series. The only downside is that it also looks pretty much like any 3-series, which means rather safe. That's the only area where I foresee the M3 falling short compared to the sexy newcomers from Cadillac and Audi.

Fall, 2014
What a wonderful summer we had! A lot of activities for the youth and the younger ones, a lot of education, case work, green card and citizenship assistance. One of our weekly outings was to Springdale Farms, a yearly event for us and always eagerly anticipated by refugees and volunteers alike. (See picture) For this type of activity (held each Thursday during our Summer Sessions where there is lots of studying, arts, music and 'recess') we look for sponsors to pay for the buses. The buses cost roughly $300 per outing. They do provide outside connections, knowledge and experiences not otherwise available to someone entering the country past the school grade that they are provided in.
1. Springdale Farms. 2. We said goodbye to Miss Amanda, our Americorps-Vista volunteer for last year. Of course, she's employed locally, so we hope to see her often!
3. The Zoo Mobile at our Neighborhood Hot Dog Roast. 4. Inside the Rochester Police van with Lieutenant Gebhardt at our Neighborhood Hot Dog Roast. 5. We visit Roberts Wesleyan College.

Prayer for Women Refugees
By: Jane Deren
On the road, seeking safe shelter;
In makeshift tents, feeding children;
In resettlement centers, rebuilding community;
In strange neighborhoods, looking for a compassionate face:
Long lines of women refugees,
Thousands, millions, all searching for that grace called home.
Grant them healing and wholeness, God of the vulnerable.
As you cherished Mary, cherish these women.
Grant us eyes to see them and the will to reach out,
So they may know they are not forgotten
But are welcomed in the global community, Sisters to us all.
Education for Justice Website, Center of Concern
- 1.4 million people have become refugees outside their own countries.
- 26 million people have been displaced within their own countries.
May we realize that, in our interconnected world, we are linked with all displaced persons by our common humanity.

Twitter advertisers now have access to an option allowing them to them to schedule paid advertisement tweets up to a year in advance.
Many marketers use third-party social media dashboards to schedule their tweets ahead of time. But Twitter advertisers may be able to give those tools a rest with Twitter's new scheduled tweets option.
"All marketers using Twitter's Ad Products can schedule organic or Promoted Tweets for specific dates and times up to a year in advance," Twitter said in its announcement. "These can be coordinated to go live with new or existing Promoted Tweet campaigns to enable you to plan your real-time campaigns at your convenience."
Scheduling tweets starts at the advertiser's account at ads.twitter.com. There, a person can access the option via the "compose tweet" button or within a new "creatives" tab in the top navigation.
When scheduling tweets, the user's time zone is displayed to guide the process, and tweets can be scheduled a year in advance in increments of one minute.
"Tweets can be delivered organically to followers, or set up to publish as part of a Promoted Tweet campaign where you can select specific targeting criteria to make sure the right users see your message," Twitter said.
For more information, check out Twitter's help files on scheduled tweets to get started.

New to Typophile? Accounts are free, and easy to set up.
Hi there,
Would anyone tell me which display typeface one would combine to Bliss, Syntax or Scala Sans. I would like something feminine and lively (and fat?). It's for an annual repport for a company dealing with food and restaurants…
Any idea?
Sauna Black? Why not just use the Sauna family for the whole thing?
Yes, I thought about Sauna, but then I would need to convince my "type-unfriendly" boss to buy it, and I'm afraid it's a too difficult task. But Sauna is a lovely tasty type indeed…
Without Claus' post, when I read your post in RSS the first typeface that came to mind was Sauna as well. So I think you have some convincing to do with your boss. Then again, Sauna (or any Underware type) is not very expensive, they are relatively cheap (seeing the quality of their fonts, and in comparison with other foundries).
For knowing Underware and owning some of their fonts myself, I know that Sauna isn't expensive for what it is. But some people don't give creation its right value.
Thanks for your posts anyway, I'll try to propose Sauna anyway.
I love Underware. I'm sort off waiting for a job for which I can use Sauna myself. I do own Dolly, which I use regularly. :)

Warren Beatty's Long-Awaited Howard Hughes Project Finally Gets its Wings
In Development By Samantha Wilson on February 25, 2014 | Be the First To CommentIt's hard to imagine, but it's been thirteen years since screen legend Warren Beatty has starred in a film, the last time being in 2001's Town & Country. Even longer than Beatty's absence from the silver screen is his desire to get a project off the ground centered around famed reclused aviator Howard Hughes. After 20 years of negotiating, Beatty's got the financing and the rest of cast on board to go forward with filming his untitled pet project, in which he'll direct and star as Hughes and be supported by a talented cast. The film isn't a biopic of the iconic pilot — those duties go to 2004's The Aviator, starring Leonardo DiCaprio — but rather a story about Hughes' loyal (and likely long-suffering) assistant and the assistant's love interest, played by Alden Ehrenreich (Beautiful Creatures) and Lily Collins (The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones), respectively. Though details about the film are sparse beyond that tidbit, previous reports stated that Collins' character would actually turn her attention away from her assistant beau and fall for Hughes himself; it's not clear if that's the case anymore, but it's certainly an interesting pairing if there ever was one.
'Girl Most Likely' Trailer: Can Kristen Wiig Pull This Off?
Movie News By Nathan Adams on May 2, 2013 | Be the First To CommentKristen Wiig is one of those one in a million comic talents. She doesn't have to do anything funny, she just is funny. Even if you were to stare at her just sitting still and not really doing anything, it's unlikely you'd be able to last for more than a few seconds without cracking a smile. We'll call it the Chris Farley effect, and it's the sort of thing that allows her to effortlessly elevate the material she's delivering to heights it likely wouldn't reach if handled by anyone else. But can even a talent on the level of a Kristen Wiig help make the material that this trailer for her new film, Girl Most Likely, is serving up go down any smoother?
Christina Hendricks Steps Back Into the 60s for 'Bomb'
Casting Couch By Nathan Adams on December 26, 2011 | Comments (1)Some actors worry about keeping strict control over how the world perceives them and making sure that they don't get typecast, but Mad Men's Christina Hendricks seems to think that if you look that good dressed up in the garb of the period, why not follow up your head turning, 60s-set breakout performance with another role steeped in the same decade? To that end, she has accepted a role in director Sally Potter's upcoming anti-nuke movie Bomb, which tells the tale of a couple of teenage girls who become part of the Ban the Bomb movement and also learn a little bit about free love and their own blossoming sexuality along the way.There isn't yet any word on what role Hendricks will play in the film, but she joins a cast that already includes Elle Fanning and Alice Englert as the main girls, and is also rumored to soon pick up names like Alessandro Nivola and Annette Bening as well.
14 Variant Logos That Prove Even Studios Enjoy Having a Little Fun
Cinematic Listology By Matt Patches on April 28, 2011 | Comments (22)Studio logos are an iconography all their own, but nothing puts a grin on my face like a spiffy send-up of a traditional company emblem tailored made to gel with the film I'm about to watch. Don't get me wrong — nothing's going to top classics like Alfred Newman's Fox fanfare, Jerry Goldsmith's Universal tune or the countless other openings ingrained in our cinematic memories. But when someone takes the recognizable logo and makes it their own…well, that's when I get giddy. For decades, movie studios have been allowing filmmakers to tinker slightly with the prestigious logos that preface every film they release. Nothing too crazy — maybe a color shift or a throwback to a retired bumper — but nothing that would tarnish their reputations. These days, most movies are free to run wild. Many stick to the time-honored traditions of their studios, but the ones that don't feel that much more special. Regardless of a film's quality, a great logo is like the cherry on top for most movie buffs. Here are fourteen modern variants that bring a little extra magic to the pictures they kick off:
Oscar Breakdown: Best Actress in a Leading Role
Academy Awards By Nathan Adams on February 21, 2011 | Comments (4)This article is part of our Oscar Week Series, where you will find breakdowns and predictions for all of the major categories. Some of you might be confused as to what the Best Actress category is exactly. Don't worry; it's easy enough to explain. You see, Best Actress is just like the award for Best Actor, except it's for people with lady parts only. Why there needs to be a gender distinction when it comes to giving out awards for acting performances is beyond me. Is there something inherent in one of the genders that would give them the edge when it comes to acting? Or maybe this is a relic of an older Hollywood where all of the really meaty roles were written for men and actresses didn't have much more to do than be the object of affection? I think we're past that point now. I would argue not just that female actors put out work equal to male actors in 2010, but also that they were on the whole given more interesting characters to play. I say that this is the year where we need to band together and call for the end of award discrimination. Who's with me? Maybe you should look over the nominees first. They are as follows, with my winner prediction in red.
Emotions are running high in Hollywood this morning after the announcement of this year's Academy Award nominations. Or at least that's the sort of thing that people say when they talk about the Academy Awards. I don't know if anybody really takes this kind of stuff seriously or not. Variety has been hard at work getting reactions from as many of the nominees as possible, which may just give us some insight. Joel and Ethan Coen may have given the most sincere response by saying, "Ten seems like an awful lot. We don't want to take anyone else's," but they weren't the only ones who avoided the word "journey" like 90% of the pack.
Culture Warrior: Modern Families
Culture Warrior By Landon Palmer on August 3, 2010 | Be the First To CommentAmongst the universal critical applause currently being bestowed upon Lisa Cholodenko's The Kids Are All Right, one bit of praise seems to connect them all: that the film isn't didactic or preachy regarding the same-sex couple at its center. In other words, it's a film about a gay couple but doesn't overtly shout that it's about a gay couple; the premise isn't addressed as if it were unique, exceptional, or odd – nor is it, arguably, a major source of the film's comedy – rather the film proceeds without seeming intent on making a statement on gay couples or gay child-raising in contemporary society.
The summer movie season is known for a lot of things… explosions, CGI overload, superheroes, and sequels to name a few. What it doesn't really see a lot of are films dealing in human emotions, raw truths, and real life. The Kids Are All Right is one of the rare exceptions to that rule (that I just made up), and aside from implying that anyone would be sexually attracted to Julianne Moore it just may be the most honest film of the summer. Joni (Mia Wasikowska) and Laser (Josh Hutcherson) are California teens living with their two moms. Nic (Annette Bening) birthed Joni and Jules (Julianne Moore) birthed Laser, both through artificial insemination from the same sperm donor, and life has been fairly conventional up until now. Joni has recently turned eighteen and at the constant nagging of her brother has contacted the sperm bank in the hopes of meeting their biological father. Paul (Mark Ruffalo) is a laid back restaurant owner in a casual relationship with an employee (the stunningly beautiful YaYa DaCosta), and he's both surprised and intrigued at the idea of meeting the end result of his past donations. Nic and Jules reluctantly welcome Paul into their lives and soon the calm and orderly existence they thought they had is turned upside down.
